What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Excavation work around Port Macquarie, carried out by Chris under the Smithy's Mini Excavating name, draws consistent praise for skill in confined and awkward conditions. Reviews time and again mention bamboo root ball removal, trenching and levelling, moving soil on a sloping block and reshaping a difficult landscaping profile, with tight access managed so that surrounding surfaces came through undamaged. Communication is a point that comes up often, covering progress updates before and during the job, and last-minute changes absorbed without trouble.

Punctuality and reliability appear alongside accounts of work finished within the agreed timeframe and budget, and several buyers describe the quoting process as prompt. The advice Chris provides on site is valued, as is his friendly, professional manner on residential projects. The compact bobcat attracts particular comment for the amount of material it shifts in a short session, while care taken near neighbouring areas and a methodical approach to difficult terrain feature throughout. Customers state they would call on him again for later earthworks, site preparation or excavation on tricky blocks.

Chris did a wonderful job removing large bamboo root balls from our property in Laurieton. It was a tight space to manoeuvre the excavator in, which he did perfectly without any problem. I highly recommend him for any job where a great excavator operator is required.

Chris was a pleasure to deal with , he completed a trenching and levelling job at my home in Kendall near Port Macquarie. He was on time and took care in completing the job in a narrow section near the front of our home. I would not hesitate to use him for any future excavation or site works.
